How to kill a Window ?

**xtremexxx** · August 6, 2004

Hey,

I am trying to use in my unattended xp something like for example

killwindow.exe Total Commander

Does anyone know of a way? and no pskill.exe can't do this.

You can use cmdow to close a window.

cmdow [window caption] /cls

If the window caption has spaces you need to enclose it in quotes.

I don't know pskill but in Windows XP there is taskkill.exe

TASKKILL.EXE /IM NOTEPAD.EXE

Is it what you want?

No, I want to close an explore window named "Total Commander" , it shows some shortcuts in this case.

Taskkill or pskill won't work in this case. You would have to kill explorer which I don't think you want to do.

cmdow "Total Commander" /cls should work.

Like jrzycrim say for an explorer window you need CMDOW. Free and good for that and many other things...
